Raindrops fall vertically at 7.5 m/s relative to the Earth. What does an observer in a car moving at 20.2 m/s in a straight line

measure as the velocity of the raindrops? (Assume the car is moving to the right and that the +x-axis is to the right. Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Answer:

vDP = 21.7454 m/s

θ = 200.3693°

Explanation:

Given

vDE = 7.5 m/s

vPE = 20.2 m/s

Required:  vDP

Assume that

vDE to be in direction of - j

vPE to be in direction of i

According to relative motion concept the velocity vDP is given by

vDP = vDE - vPE     (I)

Substitute in (I) to get that

vDP = - 7.5 j - 20.2 i

The magnitude of vDP is given by

vDP = √((- 7.5)²+(- 20.2)²) m/s =  21.7454 m/s

θ = Arctan (- 7.5/- 20.2) = 20.3693°

θ is in 3rd quadrant so add 180°

θ = 20.3693° + 180° = 200.3693°

On a day the air is still a windmill still posses what type of energy is that ?
Montano1993 [528]

Well, it's up on top of a pole or pedestal of some sort,
so it has some gravitational potential energy relative to
the ground.  In other words, if it somehow became detached
from its structure and fell to the ground, it would make quite
an energetic splat when it got there.

Also, the windmill is at the temperature of the air around it,
which is far from Absolute Zero, so the windmill holds a lot of
thermal (heat) energy.

Then I guess there's the matter of the chemical energy in the
molecules of the material that the windmill is made of, and the
nuclear energy in its atoms.

A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 3.90 m/s^2 what is the cars speed after it has traveled 200 m.
snow_tiger [21]
The formula for accelerational displacement is at^2/2, so we know that 3.9t^2/2 = 200, or 3.9t^2 = 400. t = \sqrt{400/3.9} \approx 10.12739367, at = v, so 3.9 * 10.12739367 \approx 39.5  m/s
